i had to Goggle the spelling

when students ask about metaphors
and similes 
i love it
but please stop identifying juxtaposition 
i hand them a 
dictionary
look it up yourself pal
i never had a classical education
and can't pronounce Persephone 
and don't 
believe anybody can
so just avoid that bit of the curriculum 
avoid the greeks
give me the graphic novels unit or give me death
metaphors be with you
